... have something to declare? go through this door. Don't have anything to Declare, go through the other door which took you outside. We waited for our transfer to camping Roma. Man the Romans are crazy drivers. Kiwis are actually great drivers, these people are mental. I'm sure at one stage the speed limit was 50 and the driver was doing about 100-110. Some don't even stay in their lanes and sit in between 2 lanes. I also never saw him check ...
... to be the worst weather in our Rome leg with rain expected so we decided to pre-book tickets to the Vatican Museum so we could be undercover. We took the Metro to get us there and used our tickets to get straight in. It's amazing how long the line with people who had no reservation. It just goes to show that people don't research! We explored many of the rooms, viewing paintings by Raphael and of course, the Sistine ...

It felt alien to be so done up.

Day Three, hehehe

Armed man wearing hockey mask robs N. Knoxville business
KNOXVILLE — Police are searching for a man who robbed a North Knoxville fast-food business with a handgun and a hockey mask concealing his features.
Police at 9 p.m. Wednesday responded to a robbery call at the Burger King, 2806 N. Broadway, according to Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk.
No one was physically injured during the heist.
DeBusk said the man entered the business and demanded cash "while displaying a small handgun."
Witnesses said the man fled toward Edgewood Avenue after getting the cash.
A complete description of the robber was not available Thursday morning.
More details as they develop online and in Friday's News Sentinel.

Doctor Who Review: S09E03 — Under the Lake
I love a good base under siege story in Doctor Who and that's exactly what Toby Whithouse gave us this week. Or at least he gave us the first half of one, but I have high hopes for part 2. Whithouse has a pretty good track record when it comes to Doctor Who. He has given us The Vampires of Venice, The … Continue reading Doctor Who Review: S09E03 — Under the Lake

Episode 2 is even better than episode 1 (which I enjoyed a lot). I'm pretty sure a lot of the people who haven't liked the direction Who has gone in for the last few seasons still won't like it though. The show isn't offering methodical, fill in all the gaps type of stories. It takes jumps and expects you … Continue reading Doctor Who Review: S09E02 — The Witch's Familiar
Book Review — Star Wars: Aftermath
Chuck Wendig's entry into the Star Wars mythos has garnered a lot of attention and a lot of criticism.

Fast Paced Present Tense One of the biggest criticisms comes … Continue reading Book Review — Star Wars: Aftermath
TV Review: Minority Report — S01E01 — Pilot
If you want a one sentence review of Minority Report then here it is: Entirely adequate.

There are hints of an ongoing story-arc; there's a pleasantly racially diverse cast; there's a "strong … Continue reading TV Review: Minority Report — S01E01 — Pilot
Doctor Who Review: S09E01 — The Magician's Apprentice
Don't spend too long thinking about the title, its significance is likely not that great and besides you'll need to concentrate to catch everything that's going on in this episode. Despite being the return of two-parters (something I am terribly happy about) there is no noticeable slowing of Doctor Who's break-neck pace here. If anything Moffat goes … Continue reading Doctor Who Review: S09E01 — The Magician's Apprentice

The high concept of Sense8 … Continue reading TV Review: Sense8 S01E01 — S01E04

There's no mistaking what Lock In is, it's a police procedural.

Being new to purchasing a home, my brother and I found Jane's expertise very helpful and comforting because she answered all of our questions and showed us a variety of places. She did a great job listening to what we were looking for and we never felt rushed. Jane's attention to detail, knowledge of the market conditions, and guidance through the complete process of buying, negotiating the contract, and financing made the purchase of our first home exciting and enjoyable. You can tell she simply enjoys her job and we couldn't be happier with the home she found for us! Joya and Marcus Doucet

Media Study: More Pro Views on Same-Sex Marriage
NEW YORK -- Around the time the U.S. Supreme Court was considering the same-sex marriage issue, news reports had more comments from supporters than opponents, a study released Monday concluded.
The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism looked at nearly 500 stories on the topic over a two-month period that began just before the court started hearings in March on legalizing same-sex marriage. By a 5-to-1 margin, the stories with statements in support of legalization outweighed those dominated by opponents' views.
But Pew said the results were in large part because many of the stories were about polls showing societal attitudes swiftly moving toward support for gay marriage, or about politicians announcing their support. A disciplined approach by supporters was also a factor, Pew found.
"Certainly it is evident in these findings the degree to which supporters of same-sex marriage were largely successful in getting their message out in a clear way, a consistent way, across a wide swath of the news media," said Amy Mitchell, acting director of the project.
Supporters primarily defined the issue as one of civil rights. At the same time, Pew said, opponents haven't coalesced behind a single argument but instead posed many: homosexuality is immoral; same-sex marriage hurts families or society; civil unions are good enough; or government should not impose a new definition of marriage.

Last stop Sydney
The final leg of my trip was a few days in Sydney, and it was non stop fun. Winter did not disappoint, and I woke up, after a great nights sleep, to a very rainy, stormy Sydney. I was meeting my friend from Bali in the evening for dinner and she suggested I go over to Bondi Beach for the day even though the weather was so rubbish, so I pulled out my raincoat, jumped on the bus and off I went. I arrived at Bondi and there was a glimmer of sunshine, by the time I had done to ...

Dude, Big Sean's album is about to be the best produced album of the year. He has been putting out straight fire. I will admit lyrically he is lacking, but MAN. He got that College Dropout type feel to his freshman release. I might mess around and cop this purely for Yeezy/NoID production.
this nigga refreshing, dif, he killin it while youre lame ass rapperz weezy and drake doing the same shit over and over.
this nigga sucks!!!!...lmao...worst rapper ever dont ever listen to this nigga...hahaha http://www.reverbnation.com/shardyardy
lol at this song
amazing and haters dont understand what 2 do and what not to do RNS
been a fan from the jump and he only gets better.. he gonna be a great when its all said and done
at first i wnted Em to collab with this nigga, but now i relize Em wud fckin murda this dude, no dissin bt its da truth
3.75/5 stars. I like Big Sean but this guy is so hit or miss all the time. Either the beat is weird or the verses are weird. It's always something. Hope the album is more consistent than some of the songs we've heard. so far.
I couldn't agree more... spot on
I priciate anyone who can get on that mike and spit as long as it aint no wack ass shit love it or hate it dosent really matter cuz there hate and luv everywhere
I havent listen to him after i heard him on "I'm on it" his verse was ass. I thought he was overrated but this jawn was pretty good. He sound like kanye a lil bit tho. I see why they signed him.
Much props Big Sean. I'm glad to see you make it thru. I remember checking up on you back in the day, when Myspace was big. I wish u would of had a chorus tho. The track is still dope nontheless
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koN-yF4ySQs Skywalker - Barton Block
Cool song, was a fan of dude but he regressing musically. At 1st i saw what Drake & Cole saw but hey its the politics!
hard as fuck. annoying ass voice but he's got skills. clever lil fucker.
G.O.O.D music's version of Loon...
this shit go hard....http://bhbentertainment.com
Every song Big Sean releases is a hit.
This guy stole Median's style. HOJ
not bad. better than that chris brown foolishness.
love the lyrics but the beat seems kinda slow iw ould be better if the beat was more up tempo but if he wanted 2 talk like that at the end then it made sense
i hope u realize this is not mastered(aka CDQ)so quit complaining about the beat,voice,etc...
Lovin it!!! reminds me so much of kanye... G.O.O.D Music!!!
My favorite thing I've heard from the album so far. Sean kills it and No I.D. making straight fire on the beat.
My big brother was Big's brother Used to be Dame and Bigs brother Who was hip hop brother Who was No I.D friend No I.D My mentor Now let the story begin Come on... you young ass muh fuhkas neva listen to anythin older then 6 months. y'all niggas need to take some old school classes! this big sean shit sucks
You're a dumbass. No I.D. a budget Kanye? You must not know much, considering No I.D. was Kanye's mentor.
this dude is lame. i have no idea why everyone likes him so i guess he should keep doing the same shit. real hip hop like the roots goes unnoticed and somehow this clown will sell a million records. pathetic
Your a dumb fuck. Big Sean is from the D. No wonder your Anonymous... Fag!
Get yo lame, hating ass on then. Roots are legends, but Big Sean is the now. Fuck off, this is Chi-Town's new heat-spitter.
Then go listen to the Roots then fuckstick. Aint nobody gonna miss you.
I could fuck with this. Not amazing but pretty good. Haven't really like most of his shit but this is good.
he a word play rapper if had a a bit more charisma and substance he would be great intil then i'll just listen to Chip Tha Ripper
uh oh
and people say ems voice is annoying? must be a D thing...lol
annoying voiced skinny little nigga
damn i like big sean but he says the same thing in every song: im rich, i get girls, im famous, im the shit. hopefully he raps about his past life memories in his new album, hes so repetitive
lol..... Oh wait your serious? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
i hope he doesn't. mostly i want to hear about money, girls, and fame. I think that shits cool.
d o p e n e s s
this is dope but it just sounds like college dropout
dope as hell
i heard these lyrics cosmic kev big sean...wtf y do rappers recycle shit....this beat is assiscle
ur dumb as shyt he didnt freestlye on cosmic kev he recited verses from the album... damn i thought everybody would be smart enough to know that by now
He didn't DO IT on this one.
you know what just hate ima jus enjoy the music...let it remain 1Love
monotone didnt say shit, definitely in the closet
would love to hear your reasoning on why he didnt
damn this why he one of idols and why i try n' rap better each time... ya'll eva heard ah rapper spit some dope shyt n' you jus be lik yo please dont let this nigga stop spittin... well thats how i feel when i listen to big sean he will be ah legend no matter how many niggas hate... hes all hiphop ah straight spitter cant no one touch em butttttt we feel em tho... if you love this nigga you love em if you hate this nigga you like em and dont wanna admit it simple as that and im out... n' fuck it if i had typos...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8r8377zGew We Killin It - Barton Block ********** WE LOVE THE HATE WE'RE GETTING ********** HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
SIck lines not really feelin the beat though.
the realist nigga u cant fuck with D nigga 313 Detroit King out

LCD Soundsystem Get Around to Making a Video for "Bye Bye Bayou"
By Tom Breihan on May 20, 2010 at 3:25 p.m. EDT
Last year, before they unleashed the masterwork This Is Happening into the world, LCD Soundsystem released "Bye Bye Bayou", a cover of a track by Suicide frontman Alan Vega, as a 12" single. Now, an incredibly scuzzy and low-budget video for that single has popped up on MySpace.
Unlike Spike Jonze's ridiculously awesome "Drunk Girls" clip, this one looks like something you'd catch on New York public access TV at three in the morning in 1983. James Murphy and Louis C.K.-looking drummer Pat Mahoney sing the song and try out their best reptilian dance moves, but we only get to see them through smudged-out ancestral video effects. Your eyes will hurt. Watch the video below.

Madvillain, Will Oldham's Superwolf, Washed Out Do Adult Swim Singles
By Ryan Dombal on May 14, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. EDT
After putting out several open-minded mixtapes over the years, the purveyors of all things random and cartoon-ish at Adult Swim are prepping their own online singles series. Starting this Monday, May 17, the Adult Swim Singles Program will host a brand new track from eight different artists on the network's website.
And the lineup reads like a Pitchfork dream team: Madvillain, Superwolf (Will Oldham and Matt Sweeney), Washed Out featuring Chairlift's Caroline Polachek, Black Lips, Freddie Gibbs, Killer Mike, High on Fire, Cults, and the previously released Holy Ghost! remix of LCD Soundsystem's "Drunk Girls". Brand new music videos for the LCD redo and Cults will also premiere on the site.
Check out the Adult Swim Singles Program schedule below:
Watch: LCD, the National, MGMT, Jónsi, Los Campesinos! Play Music on TV
By Ryan Dombal on May 12, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. EDT
LCD front page photo by Ruvan Wijesooriya, photo on this page by Natalie Kardos
Basically every band you like played a song on TV last night: LCD Soundsystem ("Drunk Girls" on "Later With Jools Holland"), the National ("Bloodbuzz Ohio" on "Later With Jools Holland"), MGMT ("Brian Eno" plus an hour-long webcast on the "Late Show With David Letterman"), J贸nsi ("Go Do" on "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson"), and Los Campesinos! ("Romance Is Boring" on "Last Call With Carson Daly"). LCD were the best.
Watch all the action below (via the Audio Perv, Consequence of Sound, Prefix):
Echo Chamber: James Murphy
By Tom Breihan on May 10, 2010 at 4:45 p.m. EDT
"Nobody onstage can hear anything the audience doesn't hear. No click tracks, no guides, nothing can be heard onstage that isn't going to the front of the house. If it's a synthesizer, you have to make that sound onstage happen with a synth. If it's an organic sound, it absolutely cannot be put on a sampler. No 'feeling it'. No sunglasses. No rocking out. No improvising. No noodling. No psyching up the crowd. No pretending you're cool. I understand that if someone's going to make me his idea of cool I can't control that. But no wearing the rock-and-roll hat."
-- LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, describing the rules for the LCD Soundsystem live show and explaining to us why the LCD Soundsystem live show rules so hard. (via The New Yorker, print-only)
Holy Ghost! Remix "Drunk Girls", Tour With LCD Soundsystem, Release EP
By Tom Breihan on April 27, 2010 at 11:20 a.m. EDT
On May 18, DFA will release Static on the Wire, the new EP from the New York disco duo Holy Ghost! Right up above, you can stream or download "Say My Name", track number two on the four-song release. Sadly, it is not a Destiny's Child cover.
Though it won't make the EP, Holy Ghost! have just remixed "Drunk Girls", the new single from their DFA labelmates LCD Soundsystem. You can hear that remix, as well as the Static on the Wire EP's title track, streaming over on the Holy Ghost! website. The late Jerry Fuchs played drums on the "Drunk Girls" remix, while John MacLean, aka the Juan Maclean, delivers the guitar solo on "Static on the Wire".
Video: LCD Soundsystem: "Drunk Girls"
By Ryan Dombal on April 19, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. EDT
As if the song wasn't great enough on its own, LCD Soundsystem's "Drunk Girls" now has its own wonderfully anarchic video. The clip sees LCD members being terrorized by a bunch of (possibly tipsy) panda droogs, and I implore you to watch it below. (Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, the video's tags on YouTube seem to indicate that Spike Jonze directed it.) UPDATE: According to LCD's UK label, the video was co-directed by Spike Jonze and James Murphy.
LCD's new album, This Is Happening, is out May 18 in the U.S. and a day earlier in Europe. It's streaming in its entirety now at the band's site.
Coachella Friday: Jay-Z, Vampire Weekend, LCD Soundsystem, Fever Ray
By Pitchfork on April 17, 2010 at 2:55 p.m. EDT
Kicking off day one of this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival were Jay-Z, Vampire Weekend, LCD Soundsystem, Grizzly Bear, She & Him, Fever Ray, Yeasayer, Gil Scott-Heron, the Specials, Them Crooked Vultures, Sleigh Bells, Baroness, and many more.
Check out a selection of shots by Natalie Kardos and Chris Tuite after the jump, then head over to our photo book for a complete set of full-size photos.

Listen: Two More New LCD Soundsystem Songs
By Ryan Dombal on April 12, 2010 at 11:35 a.m. EDT
Photos by Kathryn Yu
With the release of LCD Soundsystem's new album, This Is Happening, about a month away, a couple more songs from the album have found their way into the internet ether.
Listen to a high quality rip of "I Can Change" and a low quality rip of "Dance Yrself Clean" at We All Want Someone to Shout For. As a bonus, check out a live version of "I Can Change" played at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg last week below.
This Is Happening is out in the UK May 17 courtesy of DFA/Parlophone and May 18 in the U.S. on DFA/Virgin.

This morning is rough -- you just can't get enough energy to course through your system, no matter what sneaky tricks you try to use. Just amble along as best you can until something perks you up.
LOL - I had 3 hours of sleep. I tend to catastrophize... I'm glad that you somehow validated my lack of cheeriness so that I can amble on... in a slightly better mood
I am born on the cusp......... Wonder at times
what is being told or predicted should apply or not
Sometimes I wonder if i'm on the cusp or some such! ;0) Lost my energy some where, I told there's a lot of it for me today, darn if I know where! Must be some Sags. out there with some. Can't have us all running round like spring chicks! lol!
Forgot, poor animals are an hour behind with the clocks going forward! I get up, they are still in bed, I take their feed they are not waiting cos I'm early. Glad the overview suggested I would be feeling more enthused. Will see! ;0)
Sounds good to me!
noted, thanks
I need help with my home office.

I'd like to be chancellor because of the sound
I'd like to nestle in a child-blue blanket
I'd like to forgive, but forget who
I'd like to think no one spectacular
I'd like to save up nonsexual thoughts
I'd like a quiver of thoughts
I'd like some extra hot sauce, please
I'd like the drama to come to a musical end
I'd like a tad more Manhattan
I'd like revenge for something, something!
I'd like flowers for the conflagration
I'd like to keep the broken helmet
Aging, I dare more for less
May I wear your necklace to the void?

RSL: MLS suspends Watson-Siriboe a game
Published May 15, 2013 10:24 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The MLS Disciplinary Committee suspended Real Salt Lake defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe one game by for violent conduct that endangered the safety of his opponent during the second half of RSL's 3-2 loss at the Montreal Impact on Saturday. He will miss RSL's match at Western Conference foe Chivas USA on Sunday.
The suspension concerned an incident between Watson-Siriboe and Montreal forward Marco Di Vaio in the 52nd minute of Saturday's game.
Real Salt Lake will close out its three-game road trip Sunday, when it travels to Western Conference opponent Chivas USA at the Home Depot Center. Kickoff is 8:30 p.m. (MT).

DTS has announced that the first Blu-ray title to support its DTS: X surround format will feature robots, just like Dolby Atmos before it.
DTS has announced its take on object-based surround sound, called DTS:X, which will debut in homes and cinemas this summer.
After debuting late in 2013, little has been heard about DTS' Play-Fi, but now Polk and Definitive are the first major companies to announce products supporting the wireless music standard.
The device will launch in Europe early next year, and the company also showed off new speakers and talked up a streaming gaming service.
The Magnepan MMG and Pioneer Elite SP-EBS73-LR are two very different sounding speakers, so which one is best for you?
The European Union contends that the studios and British pay-TV provider Sky UK are violating antitrust regulations by restricting the broadcasting of studio films to only the UK and Ireland.
In the Dolby Cinema presentation of Disney's "Tomorrowland," fiber-optic-fed laser light engines, 4K resolution, HDR contrast and Atmos sound combine to create a breathtaking cinema experience. Tomorrow's theater experience can't come home soon enough.
The Gramafon streaming dongle is the latest product to support Qualcomm's AllPlay wireless multiroom music platform.
Play-Fi devices from the likes of Polk and Definitive Technology are now able to stream music over Wi-Fi using Spotify's mobile and desktop app.
Sony's line of 2015 audio gear includes four new soundbars and two receivers with an emphasis on Bluetooth streaming and HDMI connectivity.

That said... every single trait of humans is on some kind of bell curve. There may well be people who need 120fps to avoid 'vr sickness', but they'll be a few standard deviations from the mean.

First off, games that are optimized for pure eye candy strain current cards, yes. But you don't have to have teh bezt pozzible grafix for everything. Take Alien: Isolation - looked really good, but ran at excellent framerates even on older cards. And even has some vr support. Tradeoffs can be made to crank framerate, and not horrible tradeoffs. I can handle 2010 graphics on VR, it's not like those games looked bad.
And no, a $4000 PC isn't necessary. The official specs are more like $1K these days. In fact, definitely $1K.
And no, 120fps/eye isn't necessary. You need low latency, definitely, but not that low. The DK2 peaks at 76fps, and yet few people report sickness at that rate.
Mind you, Valve's stuff is supposed to be out by the time the Rift comes out, so it'll be possible to directly compare them before I'll be in a position to buy. I'm not ruling them out. But overall I like the Rift's odds, based on what I've been reading.
I've never actually been able to get Linux to run properly on arbitrary hardware that I happened to own.
I, on the other hand, have run into one thing that Linux didn't work with. I have a collection of accumulated 'stuff' and just last night Frankensteined a PC together. I don't even know the model number of most of the parts. It's an Nvidia 8600 (something) video card, and a Soundblaster Live, I know that much. Worked just fine, no issues. (Streams PC games from Steam pretty well to the TV upstairs, too.)
I purchased a mid-high prebuilt 'gaming rig' a couple years back, and everything 'just worked', except the "SoundBlaster® X-Fi XtremeAudio" card. That was the 'one thing'. There was a config fix but I just pulled the card and used the onboard MB audio. Whatever that is worked fine.
Just installed Linux for my cousin this weekend. Some HP laptop, I honestly didn't even check the model. Everything just worked, including the 'scroll region' on the trackpad, and the weird 'slide-touch' volume control above the keyboard.
If the robot must be moving (typically, when you're teaching the robot the path it should follow), then every single person in the workcell must have an active deadman switch (anyone lets go, the robot emergency-stops). And you run the program at 10% speed so that you have time to trip the deadman or get out of the way. The workcell itself is fenced off, usually with either a tripwire or electric-eye switch that will e-stop the robot if triggered.
I used to work for a robot company, and we enforced these rules religiously. When I went to visit plants and work on the robots, they issued me my own padlock and tags for lockout/tagout. Someone had to have skipped some safety procedures in this case.
Indeed, in most places, a bug where the system crashes is the most severe possible bug. When dealing with robots, that's only the second most severe. The most severe were "unexpected motion" bugs, where the robot didn't follow the path in the correct way or otherwise didn't behave predictably. Those got everybody's attention.
You were taught that abiogenesis exists as a hypothesis (note, not a theory, and that scientists are actively researching it.
If you want to convince me otherwise, I'm afraid you'll need to de-anonymize and specify the school and timeframe involved.
It has nothing to do with evolution.
Ah, but it does indeed. It shows that variation does in fact respond to environment. It's only one piece of the puzzle, though. No one claims that the peppered moths, by themselves, prove evolution. There's a lot more to it than that.
Take that variation, for example, and you can link it to speciation - which we can observe today. Heard of 'ring species'? The Larus gulls are several subspecies where variants live in a ring around the Arctic. The Herring Gull in the U.K. can interbreed with the American Herring Gull, and the American can interbreed with the Vega Gull in Russia. And so on, until you come to the Lesser Black-Backed Gull in the Netherlands. It basically can't breed with the Herring Gull. Hybrids are extremely rare and don't seem to be fertile, like mules.
So, is it a separate species? You could breed it with its relative to the East, and so on. But what if, say, the Vega Gull went extinct? Would you have separate species then?
Now, imagine such variations happening across time instead of (or as well as) space, and you've got an idea how species actually do form, instead of the 'saltationist' strawman that many try to imply.
We have a theory how we think this works but we haven't gotten conclusive evidence.
The thing is, we have so gotten conclusive evidence. Here's one you can partially check on your own body. Lay your fingers on the side of your jaw. Now, trace along the edge up to the very top of the jawbone. Notice how close your fingers are to your ear canal. Inside the inner ear are three bones, the ossicles: malleus, incus, and stapes. They are carefully arranged to transfer sound energy from the eardrum to the cochlea as efficiently as possible. How could such an amazing mechanism arise?
It turns out that a classification of dinosaur called the therapsids had two jaw joints. The therapsids are known (by several independent lines of evidence) to be ancestral to modern mammals... and we have a basically complete fossil record of the gradual transition of one of those jaw joints into the modern bones of the inner ear. Fossils representing over a dozen separate stages have been found. Note that intermediate steps were all advantageous, though not as efficient or optimized. Some transitional forms did help amplify sound energy but didn't work while the animal was chewing. We still have problems with that under some circumstances (try to listen to someone while eating celery) but the separation is far more developed now.
(Note that some have even cited the ossicles as 'irreducibly complex'. The more central figures of the ID 'movement', like Behe and Shermer, haven't done so... but I suspect that's because they know enough of the detailed fossil record to dissuade them.)
Or, my absolute favorite - the twin nested hierarchies! Books used to be copied by scribes, and (despite a lot of care) sometimes typos would be introduced. Later scribes, making copies of copies, would introduce other typos. It's possible to look at the existing copies and put them into a 'family tree'. "These copies have this typo, but not that one; this other group has yet another typo, though three of them have a newer typo as well, not seen elsewhere..." This is not controversial at all when dealing with books, including the Bible.
Now, this process of copy-with-modification naturally produces 'family trees', nested groups. When we look at life, we find such nested groups. No lizards with fur or nipples, no mammals with feathers, etc. Living things (at least, multicellular ones, see below) fit into a grouped hierarchy. This has been solidly recognized for over a thousand years, and systematized for centuries. It was one of the clues that led Darwin to propose evolution. (Little-known fact: Linnaeus, who invented the "kingdom, phyla, genus, species, etc." classification scheme for living things, tried to do the same thing for minerals. But minerals don't form from copy-with-modification, and a 'nested hierarchy' just didn't work and never caught on.)
Today, more than a century later, we find another tree, one Darwin never suspected - that of DNA. This really is a 'text' being copied with rare typos. And, as expected, it also forms a family tree, a nested hierarchy. And, with very very few surprises, it's the same tree that was derived from looking at physical traits.
It didn't have to be that way. Even very critical genes for life - like that of cytochrome C - have a few neutral variations, minor mutations that don't affect its function. (Genetic sequences for cytochrome C differ by up to 60% across species.) Wheat engineered to use the mouse form of cytochrome C grows just fine. But we find a tree of mutations that fits evolution precisely, instead of some other tree. (Imagine if a tree derived from bookbinding technology - "this guy used this kind of glue, but this other bookbinder used a different glue..." - conflicted with a tree that was derived from typos in the text of the books. We'd know at least one tree and maybe both were wrong.)
The details of these trees are very specific and very, very numerous. There are billions of quadrillions of possible trees... and yet the two that we see (DNA and morphology) happen to very precisely match. This is either a staggering coincidence, or a Creator deliberately arranged it in a misleading manner, or... universal common ancestry is actually true.
(Single-celled organisms are much more 'promiscuous' in their reproduction and spread genes willy-nilly without respect for straightforward inheritance. With single-celled creatures, it looks more like a 'web' of life than a 'tree'. But even if the tree of life has tangled roots, it's still very definitely a tree when it comes to multicellular life.)
One final bonus point:
Also, this idea that inorganics singularly sprang into organic life one time a long time ago makes no sense.
Thankfully, there's two problems with this. One, nobody claims that's how abiogenesis happened, so it's just a strawman. Two, nobody anywhere claims it's established yet, and nobody teaches abiogenesis as a fact in school. So complaining about dogmatism on that score is ridiculous.
Not that I don't agree with the general sentiment when it comes to creationists. But it's not like arguments haven't been presented on that score. Sometimes you just gotta be funny.
